    Chapter 498 of the weird things the kids do nowadays that I just can’t conceive of doing back when I was their age. Bunch of kids on the tram kicking heads of broccoli around. At least 3 of them (broccoli heads that is, kids were more like a dozen or so). And marking them when they went airborne. BrocSoccer? Brocfooty? This seems perverted to me.
    I can come at wine cask liner football (have played that myself back when I was flexible), but random violence to vegetables is a new one to me. Shakes fist at clouds.

      Food is cheap.

      when I was growing food was expensive, you didn’t waste it or play with it

        Idk. I bet you could find a soccer ball cheaper than a head of broccoli at woolies

        Me too. As I have a vegie patch, and when you’ve nurtured something through to edible status for months, then this sort of thing just revolts me.

      Bunch of kids on the tram kicking heads of broccoli around.

      A bit like our fluffy cat.

      Demands for brocolli. Proceeds to protect it with his life, hissing at anyone who comes near it, and kicking it around for a bit, then abandons it after 15 minutes.
